Loner

Does any other cat ever think that some cats are just meant to be a loner? Don't get me wrong, I like socialization, but I've always been to myself. The running joke is that I'm a geezer and I keep everything and everyone in line. No need to be a social butterfly or annoy my other siblings.

I think I was meant to be a loner. Not an only cat of course, but I'm content with a companion, more so than a crowd of cats. I dunno!

I'm still loving those new crunchy treats! Who am I kidding. I love all treats to be honest, but the new ones are extra good! The "crispies" are pawsome! I give them many paws up!

Moist!!

As mentioned before, I'm a very picky eater but mom gave us some new moist food!! We got to try Tiki's light blue can of Chicken and Fussy Cat's chicken and brown rice (or something like that).

WAY TO GO!! I loveeeeeeeee those two cans! Porkers seemed to like the Fussy Cat, but said no to Tiki.

And the plus side? Fussy Cat had a lot of veggies so I got my veggies for the day too! Anyway, time to drink water and bathe my head!

Treats

YES!! Mom kept her word AND some!! Today she brought home 3 bags of "Friskie's Crunchies" treats, the sparkly balls, a new round scratcher thing, a HUGE Mylar ball, 2 feather toys, a fishie toy, and a partridge in a pear tree.

Seriously folks, we made out good!! I especially liked the Cheese Crunchies!

I've been sneezing a lot lately, so if I'm not better or if my sneezing continues I might go to the vet tomorrow. Ugh, I like my vet but I hate going on car rides, no matter how short they are. I figure I might get some Clavimox pills as they seem to do the trick.

Cat Treats

So I'm sometimes picky when it comes to cat treats. I sometimes go in spurts when it comes to treats. Mom is going to try some new treats to see if I will eat them. I'm sure my siblings will approve! I just hope Mittens doesn't eat them all up! I know PorkChop won't touch them as he is even more pickier than I am when it comes to treats!

Mom is just happy and surprised that there's actually a moist food out there that he will eat! He sometimes ate ProPlan's urinary moist, but that was a strong SOMETIMES. Who knew Fancy Feast was the key to his heart, I mean, stomach!

Protected

As Mittens meowed, me, Porkers and Mittens tend to do our own thing. But lately PorkChop and Mittens have been protecting me. Like they seriously got my back, errrr tail. Yup, even though we have all had a spat here and there with each other, we will always stick side-by-side one another. We're good like that. Why? 'Cause we're cats that's why! Doggies don't think and do what we do. They are nose brained. All they think is food right?

Anyway, time to do what I do best, nap :)

Ouchie! Vet appointment

Just got back from seeing my vet along with Ethan my brother. So I in fact had an abscess!! There was no wound/bite mark but my vet did a "Ll Fine Needle Aspirate, LI Cytology" and yup! An abscess!

So I'm on Zeniquin 25mg tablets for 14 days and if that doesn't help then I have to get it lanced. I also got my rabies shot and took it like a champ. I weight 15.5 pounds :)

Ethan the dog got an annual exam, and Vac/Bb/PI/CAV 2 annual and Vac Lyme Disease annual. He also got his nails trimmed and weighs 43.80 pounds.

Thank you for the purrrs! I hope the medicine works!

Needing purrrs

:(

So mom found a large bump near the base of my tail, sorta at 11:00 for location. It's pretty big and she's not sure how she didn't see it until yesterday. She brushes me a lot 'cause I seem to shed to no end. She made an appointment but it's going to be a while till I see the vet mom wants to see. I don't appear to be in pain but she hopes it's just a big old man bump/mass and not the dreaded "C".

Seems weird to have the dreaded "C" since it's by my tail no? It's not an impacted gland as I never had issues with that and it's on top not the bottom.

Purrrs appreciated.

Can't get enough water!

So many know I'm all about water! I love the kitchen tap and lately I've been on the counter more and more demanding fresh water from the kitchen faucet!

I never in my 9 years did this, but the past month or so I'm claiming my alpha status (well, working on that) and have been jumping on the counter more. When mom prepares meals I know she'll use the faucet so I've been timing it just right that when she's about to use it, I jump on the counter and tada!! I get my water fix!

I love water!

All better

So my cold is all done and I used up the extra Clavamox pills we had on standby. Good timing as they expire this month!

Mom brushed me the other day and she can never get over how much fur she gets off of me when she's done. I like the slicker brush and mom has to pull the fur off at least 5 times. Mittens and the other raggies don't really loose a lot of hair, but me and Boogie do. Fido doesn't shed much.

Mom says my fur could knit a sweater at the rate I loose hair when I get brushed!

Achew

Yup, a cold again. I sneeze quite often but yesterday I was non stop sneezing and then my nose sounded snotty. So I'm on Clavamox pills which always do the trick.

I've been sleeping a lot trying to fight off my cold. Mom got her flu shot last week so hopefully we can keep the household healthy!
